HC Deb 22 June 1948 vol 452 cc1135-6
69. Mr. Piratin

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that perambulator manufacturers are not permitted to make them with extensions; and, in view of the fact that babies grow out of the perambulators now being sold, if he will issue instructions permitting the manufacturing of extensions to perambulators.

Mr. Belcher

No, Sir. There is nothing to stop manufacturers making perambulators with extensions, and some of them do so. The second part of the Question, therefore, does not arise.

Mr. Piratin

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that a shopkeeper told me a little while ago that that was not the case? Is he further aware that his answer will give great satisfaction to the babies concerned?
